A faction for the Movement for the Actualization of the Sovereign State of Biafra, (MASSOB), has alleged that the Director of Biafra Radio, Nnamdi Kanu, has been killed.
Kanu has been in detention for over a month since he was arrested by operatives of the Department of State Security, in Lagos.
Kanu, who’s being charged on three counts of criminal conspiracy, intimidation and belonging to unlawful society, was absent at the resumed hearing of his trial on Wednesday, November 18.
However, on Saturday, November 21, the factional MASSOB claimed that Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, may have been murdered.
MASSOB factional Director of Information, Comrade Uchenna Madu, revealed via a statement that Kanu’s murder was disclosed to the group by security operatives who’re sympathetic to the Biafra agitations.
The group while threatening of rebellion should Kanu be truly dead, insisted that he must appear in court on Monday, November 23, by all means possible.
“Factional MASSOB has discovered that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu detained by Nigeria has been murdered in Abuja.
“Information to Biafra Intelligence Agency (BIA), through operatives sympathetic to the Biafran cause revealed it to us. Pro-Biafran groups may not believe it until Monday, Nov 23 when Nnamdi will be arraigned in court.
“The cause information we are receiving from Abuja is not healthy, we’re still waiting till Monday. Nnamdi Kanu is the arrowhead of the Biafra agitation. Nigeria should be extremely careful on Nnamdi Kanu”.
“If government extra judicially kills Nnamdi Kanu, Nigeria will experience the worst volcanic rebellion and aggression.
“We call on the Ohaneze Ndigbo, South East Govs, Igbo leaders of thought, South-East and South-South Professionals, Igbo National Assembly members, traditional /religious leaders to call Nigeria’s Presidency to order now.
“We demand that Nnamdi Kanu must appear in court on Monday, Nov 23 alive or dead. We love non-violence & wish to maintain it but Nigeria is pushing Biafrans to the wall”.
